El Centenario

(original)
Si eres pobre te humilla la gente
Si eres rico te tratan muy bien
Un amigo se metió a la mafia
Porque pobre ya no quiso ser
Ahora tiene dinero de sobra
Por costales le pagan al mes
Todos le dicen el centenario
Por la joya que brilla en su pecho
Ahora todos lo ven diferente
Se acabaron todos sus desprecios
Nomás porque trae carro del año
Ya lo ven con el signo de peso
Lo persigue el gobierno gabacho
Pero el no deja de trabajar
A los ángeles va cada rato
Y regresa con un dineral
El recibe órdenes desde arriba
Y las cumple a como dé lugar
Al peligro ya se acostumbro
Y por eso no le teme a nadie
En su Lincoln se pasea tranquilo
Por Tijuana y por Guadalajara
Por los Angeles y San Fransisco
Y también por las Vegas Nevada
Con la mafia se gana dinero
Pero se necesita valor
Porque aquí no hay ningún parentesco
Y no se admite algún error
Siempre te andas rifando el pellejo
Con las leyes o con el patrón
(translation)
If you are poor people humiliate you
If you are rich they treat you very well
A friend joined the mafia
Because he no longer wanted to be poor
Now he has money to spare
For sacks they pay him per month
Everyone tells him the centenary
For the jewel that shines on her chest
Now everyone sees it differently
All your contempt is over
Just because it brings car of the year
They already see it with the peso sign
The gabacho government persecutes him
But he doesn't stop working
He goes to Los Angeles every so often
And he comes back with a fortune
He takes orders from above
And he fulfills them at any cost
He's used to danger
And that's why he's not afraid of anyone
In his Lincoln he walks calmly
Through Tijuana and Guadalajara
Through Los Angeles and San Fransisco
And also for Las Vegas Nevada
With the mafia you make money
But it takes courage
Because here there is no kinship
And no mistake is allowed
You're always raffling off your skin
With the laws or with the boss
